In the video, Chimamanda talks about the disaster in a single story, or the single-sided perception of a community that is over told by the media in outside communities. This title is a metaphor to this "single story phenomenon." A tree has many branches, and a community has many stories. My goal for this documentary is to show the outside communities something different about Haitians and their country.Sidenote: Why this title?Intended Audience:General American public.
